Can learning grammar be instructive and entertaining? To anyone who has
encountered the Grammar Geek, the answer is a resounding well, of course it
can! Denis Lacroix is a student from Quebec who is working for the summer as a
waiter at the Banff Springs Hotel in the Rocky Mountains. Paul Syme is an
English linguistics professor who engages Denis in a conversation about
language while relaxing in the hotel’s lounge one afternoon. Through a series
of daily lessons, Denis learns from Mr. Syme, a.k.a. the Grammar Geek, how to
become more accurate in the following areas: • The past, present, future, and
perfect verb forms • The modals can, could, may, might, must, etc. •
Adjectives, adverbs and word order • Nouns and pronouns • The Genitive •
Determiners • Prepositions and phrasal verbs • Conditionals • Active and
passive voice • Sentence structure Rather than present grammar in a dull and
flavorless way, the Geek shows Denis the path to grammatical wisdom with
meaningful examples and relevant comparisons to French. Through their
conversations, Denis is exposed to the mistakes that Francophones tend to make
and the reasons underlying these mistakes. He also realizes that when grammar
is taught in an understandable and humorous manner, learning it can be
rewarding and actually fun – yes… fun! Included in the book is a variety of
practice exercises including gap-fill, multiple choice, translation and
contextualization.
